2) The game was 3-0, not a blowout. At that point, the game is still on and Trenton needed baserunners.
To me it really doesn't matter what the score is. A bunt for a hit is as legitimate as any other type of hit.HoustonAg2106 said:
I think the main thing is that it was only a 3 run game. After the bunt you're looking at a walk and then a bomb away from tying it up.

I think it was a game last year against Rhode Island where we were winning by 9 or 10 runs in the 9th and they tried to bunt for a hit and collided with Coleman at first base. I remember there was a big discussion on here about if it's ok to bunt in the 9th down by so many runs.
There was a lot of "you must have never played baseball" going on that day.
I agree, but I know there are a lot of people that don't...ColoradoMooseHerd said:HoustonAg2106 said:

It's always ok to bunt for a hit
This. If you don't want to have no no ruined, make the play.powerbelly said:To me it really doesn't matter what the score is. A bunt for a hit is as legitimate as any other type of hit.HoustonAg2106 said:

It is chicken **** to throw at someone for trying to get on base.94chem said:
Pro ball polices itself, but college can't. Thus, if the game is out of reach in pro ball, you can drop one down if you don't mind wearing one the next day. In college, you can do stuff with impunity, so it's a DB move.

Sure it is, but why don't you go ahead and try it in a big league game when you're down 10-0 against Nolan Ryan in the 9th inning? It's not a great career move.powerbelly said:It is chicken **** to throw at someone for trying to get on base.94chem said:

Same reason nobody cross-checked Gretzky. Some people just have an aversion to feeding tubes.
I always thought the conventional wisdom was that the DB move was to bunt for a hit when you are up 10 runs, not when you're down by any number.94chem said:Sure it is, but why don't you go ahead and try it in a big league game when you're down 10-0 against Nolan Ryan in the 9th inning?

Even if it were a DB move for a true no hitter (which I don't think it was), why do they care so much about a "combined no-hitter"?TexAg1987 said:Quote:

Intentionally hurting someone is bull*****austagg99 said:
It is true that bunting for hit is legitimate even late in a no-hitter but as a first baseman so is calling for a pick off and knocking the guys teeth out with the tag. All just part of the game. His jaw is a legitimate place to tag him so no big deal.
Bunting for a hit and physically injuring someone are equal. Yeah, ok.austagg99 said:
